Season 2025 Changes I'd like to see.

[Gordie]

Two more years.

Those could be 2 long years similar to shaun Johnson situation.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

I’d rather lose RTS than tuaupiki as he is the future.

how long a contract is RTS on?

I really admire Tuaupiki for his skill set and temperament. However, his physicality is a concern for me. In situations where he’s the last line of defence or facing a one-on-one with a charging forward, he would always finish second best. RTS, is a far better defender and can diffuse the situation before it gets worse. On attack he's a killer.

I agree but the warriors need pace.

Tuaupiki with the right defensive pattern in our team could work at fullback. I'd be okay with him taking over Montoya's wing spot.

Who takes over from Montoya, RTS?

I hope you're wrong but I certainly wouldn't expect you to be.

For me the negatives outweigh the positives in resigning RTS.

Had he been in his mid-late 20’s then it would have been a different story.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

I would like to see nearly a total rebranding of the Club
Now that SJ is gone its time to not look back but to put all the energy towards going forward.
Its a new era so why not promote the hell out of it

 

[Big Marn]

I would like to see the club have a competition to win flights and tickets to the see the Warriors in Vegas.

 

[JJ]

Aside from too many fullbacks I’m not sure what the negatives are? He’s still good, has been mucked around position wise, is a renowned professional and leader, well respected…. He’s lost pace it seems, but it’s not like CNK is a top level #1 or we have good centres. In terms of negatives money wise there are others I’d look at first, DWZ for example

Thanks for the warning. A picture of Kosi alongside a headline that says "Young gun extends" would've given me a heart attack otherwise.

Look at him. Kosi's a big boy and he should be ripping in. It's frustrating because he's still on our books.

Haha! That is the stuff of nightmares.

I am a massive Ali L fan, really hope he gets first crack at centre in 2025 and kicks on.
